The End is Near


Friday: setup for reception, finish slideshow and reception music, Rehearsal and Rehearsal dinner

Saturday: I'm getting married!

Sunday: sleep in ;oD, brunch, open gifts, pack for honeymoon

Monday: leave for Walt Disney World for a much needed vacation/Honeymoon

Thank you to everyone for all your help in this process. I truly could not have done it without you! I wish I would have been able to invite everyone to come and see how it turns out, but it was not to be. I'll post pictures sometime in September.

... This is my beloved,
and this is my friend...

Photo Fun

Jason and I have been meaning to get engagement pictures for a while, actually, since we got engaged. It has just never happened. So, today we went out with his coworker and her digital camera to try and get something to go on our wedding programs. Here are a couple of the better ones.





Can you tell I was trying not to squint? The sun was SO bright! The second picture is the one I ended up using for the programs.

This is one of the bloopers.



There are a couple others where Jason looks constipated, and another where they say it looks like I am trying to help him squeeze one out. Yeah, some of the pictures were definitely better than others. :oD

Suggestions Needed

Does anyone know of a good slideshow program for creating a simple slideshow with music in the background?

Also, any suggestions for good jazz music? I have Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I'm looking for something in that genre.

Hair and Music

My friend who was going to do my hair backed out last week. Her husband planned for them to leave on vacation a day earlier than she thought, which just happens to be the day of my wedding. Fortunately for me, the pre-school director has decided to pay for my hair as a wedding gift. Today I went to Alexander's Salon in Brea for a trial up-do. It is GORGEOUS! I'm not showing anyone, so it will be a surprise on Saturday. :o)

I will say, though, that it took an hour, 2 rubberbands, and 71 bobby pins to make it happen. I only wish I had something to do to make good use of the beautiful hairdo.

I also met with the pianist to arrange what she will do for the wedding. I think I am just going to have her play the pre-ceremony music, and maybe the Bridal Procession. I've picked out some music that I really like for the rest of the ceremony. Hopefully it all works together.

The Final Week

EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
